As panic spreads in the South West of Nigeria over Friday’s invasion of schools in Oriire Local Government of Oyo State, Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, said he and others were battle-ready to flush marauders out of forests in the South-West.
“We are battle-ready with our men to storm these forests and flush out marauders who have made life miserable for our people. We cannot continue to fold our hands while our people are being murdered and abducted by bandits, herders and kidnappers,” he said.
He urged traditional rulers to prevail on government authorities to speedily approve the take-off of the Iru Ekun Security Network to address insecurity in the region.
“I’m only awaiting government approval to tackle the growing insecurity ravaging the South-West head-on,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu, has deployed more detectives from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, to collaborate with the joint security team as part of intensified efforts to secure the release of the abducted teachers and students of three schools in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
An informed police source told The PUNCH in Ibadan on Tuesday that the deployment was aimed at rescuing the victims unhurt.
The source said, “More detectives have been deployed from the Force Headquarters to collaborate with the joint security operatives already on the ground.
